Picture Monday, June 23, 2008

Whenever I go through the pictures in the comfort of my La-Z-Boy, I always come across a picture and I think, "Why did we take a picture of THAT?" So I collected a few to show off today. Maybe you can figure out why we took a picture of that.

A lamp. Obvious enough. But why? I took that picture in high school. I guess I fancied myself a budding prize photographer. But a lamp? Why?

The picture below isn't much better.

A dandelion.

In black and white.

I still remember taking this picture and several others. I had my camera and I walked around the neighborhood taking pictures of as many different colorful things I could find. I was really excited about them until I had the pictures developed. I had used black and white film. I imagine that explains the lamp picture above.

I'm sorry, but this one defies logic. Why would you want a picture of your cat in the litter box? So far no one has owned up to this one.

Then there's the microwave. For posterity we have a picture of something be warmed up in the microwave. Years from now we will be able to show our children's children's children that we used to cook the old fashioned way, in a microwave.

Finally, a picture of Sam Houston, great Texian of yore. Former president of the Republic of Texas. Sam Houston was a famous head of state who apparently had no head of his own. Yes, we have a picture of famous statue of Sam Houston in Huntsville, TX. The statue has a head. the picture does not.
